EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Courtesan Followed by Two Girl Attendants" transports us back to the vibrant world of 17th and 18th century Japan. Created by the talented artist Nishikawa Sukenobu, this monochrome woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing intricate details with ink on paper. The image depicts a young courtesan elegantly dressed in a stunning kimono, accompanied by her two loyal girl attendants. The exquisite patterns adorning their garments reflect the fashion trends of the Edo period, showcasing both tradition and opulence. Sukenobu's artistry shines through as he skillfully portrays each figure with delicate precision. The full-length composition allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these women but also their profession within Japanese society. As we gaze at this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported into a world where courtesans held an esteemed position and were admired for their grace and charm. Their presence evokes curiosity about their lives, occupations, and relationships within this fascinating era. With its timeless appeal and artistic excellence, this woodblock print serves as a testament to Sukenobu's talent as well as an invaluable window into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
